    Lyrics
    What am I to believe
    Of what I've seen on my T.V.
    Of all the killing going on
    Somewhere halfway round the world.

    They speak of cold deciet
    And of the death put on the breeze
    By the man we sold the weapons to
    He kills with such great ease

    And I find it all to easy
    To point a finger, take a stand
    It's not my fault it was their job
    To liberate that foreign land

    But looking at the photographs
    Of mothers fallen down
    While mourning over infants
    Buried deep in bloody ground

    I feel I failed humanity
    I never raised my voice
    I sat comfortably inside my home
    I never made a choice
    To tell the world they're people
    Moms and Dads with boys and girls
    But Hey, What could I have done
    I'm only one man and I'm halfway round the world

    As we celebrate our soldiers
    Coming home from months in sand
    They're wearing shiny white dress gloves
    To hide those blood stained hands


    And though they say we've won that war
    A skeptic I'll remain
    To shed anothers blood for oil
    Is to bring us all to shame

    And thier ad campaigns were oh so slick
    They filled us with our pride
    Americans are lucky
    Cause we were on the winning side

    But looking at the photographs
    Of mothers fallen down
    While mourning over infants
    Buried deep in bloody ground

    I feel I failed humanity
    I never raised my voice
    I sat comfortably inside my home
    I never made a choice
    To tell the world they're people
    Moms and Dads with boys and girls
    But Hey, What could I have done
    I'm only one man and I'm halfway round the world
